Welcome To Kinship Mentoring of Columbia County (Wisconsin)
Kinship Mentoring offers 2 programs:
Community Mentoring
and
Lunch Buddies Mentoring Program
Community Mentoring
Children ages 5-16 in Columbia County with identified needs are matched with a caring adult, according to location, similar interests, and personalities. Mentors and Mentees will spend 2-4 hours per month, enjoying fun within the community such as fishing, visiting the library, playing at a park, hiking a trail, enjoying some ice cream, or at the mentor's house baking, playing board games, drawing, puzzles, and trying new things! Interested adults must be at least 18 years of age, interviewed, and undergo extensive background checks and comprehensive screening before being matched.






Lunch Buddies Mentoring Program
Students in grades 3 - 8, in the Columbia County area school district, are matched with a caring adult. The Lunch Buddy Mentor meets their Mentee (student) twice a month - on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays, at their school, during the child’s 20-minute lunch period.
They meet in a small group with other Lunch Buddies.
